Freeport, Grand Bahama - The Blooming Orchids was an evening of Fashion, Entertainment, and Flair, where 14 beautiful entrepreneurial women on Grand Bahama Island displayed their collections, services, and crafts.  This journey of a spectacular was a full moon goddess ceremony for the honouring of our matriarchal leaders for this commonwealth region.  The Queen of England would be pleased to know of such an event, and perhaps the young and future queen might be lured to the annual occasion of attending such a proud and honourable event.

SisBro Production Company owned by Kenton and Kerel Pinder, geared toward creating innovative and memorable events, hosted their premiere event.  The Blooming Orchids, a most successful presentation of distinguished grandeur, was held on Friday, November 19th at the Canal House of Pelican Bay. 

Sponsored by Pelican Bay, Sawyers, Sabor, The Bahamas Weekly, Agave, Sky Bahamas, Seventeen, and GB Info, The Blooming Orchids displayed an enchanting sophistication that will be remembered as timeless, for all of those privileged enough to have been in attendance.

Miss Kerel is not only a beauty queen, but a debutant groomed to host such events for the elite social upper class.  By the works of her hands, the Blooming Orchids event was a distinguished time piece, and I have yet to experience another of its kind.  A trade show suited for kings and queens, it was refined in grace and elegance as the most influential entrepreneurial artists of our day came together to showcase their works in a celebration of time, talent, and treasure. It was an honour to be a part of such a regal affair, and to have the opportunity to take part in such a momentous occasion that was as groundbreaking as it was ceremonial.

For the Blooming Orchids, this is only the beginning.  I believe that each year this such event will become more recognized, endorsed, and sought after, predicting a growing popularity through the ranks of the social class and the upper echelon of the Bahamas.  There is a definite demand for this sort of event that is able to harness the potent energy of creative beauty and present a package that is suited to embrace the empowered movement of the feminine ideal, as a specific cause for celebration of impact.

The evening featured women entrepreneurs of photography, art, fashion, wedding planning, parties, makeup, jewelery, cakes, marketing and locations, and home decor.  Amongst these were the twelve ladies of the night, being honoured for their exceptional contribution to our community, as we celebrated their beauty as well as their talents.  The Blooming Orchids of the night are known as Sally Vardaoulis,Davina Rutherford, Grace Ann, Michelle and Adriene Adderley, Rachel Smith, Beverly Cooper, Georgia Taylor, Sarah Kirkby, Raquel Smith, Krystle Allen, Danielle and Lauren Johnson, Leshan Ferguson along with my personal favourites, Chantal Bethel, Lyndah Wells, Anthea Bullard, and Erykah Monique.

These Blooming Orchids will most certainly continue to impact our socio-economic structure by defining class and regal aptitude through their works and the finesse of their self-carriage.  They are the role models that will influence the positive dynamic of our culture; these are the women whom I will continue to look up to with admiration for their strength of character, and for answering the call to service excellence as members of our growing community.  All Hail the Queens, for The Blooming Orchids are certainly a Royal Party.
